How do I maximize my rating for seborrheic dermatitis?

Rate this question

Question

I have seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp and parts of my face. Right now I am at 0%. Is there anything I should tell or show my dermatologist? I have long-ish hair (for a guy) to keep my flaky and inflamed scalp covered. Should I cut it short for the exams? My ketokonazal shampoo isn't working and I'm sometimes embarrassed to go outside because of it. Should I collect my large skin flakes to show to the doctor? Thanks in advance.

I suppose you could do that, but if you are seeing a dermatologist this stuff should already be documented, or, if you tell them, they can look at your scalp to corroborate it as objective evidence vs a subjective concern. Then it would be in your VAMC notes (if you are seeing VAMC dermatology). If you are seeing a private dermatologist then same, it should already be in your notes unless you haven't told them.
